Chapter 178: I Am the Champion of the Abyssal Demon!
Watching Lolth’s actions, Patricia was the first to react.
She didn’t have time to wonder why this “cultist” could ignore the power of the Holy Light and cross the Divine Force Field. To Patricia, it seemed that the other person had realized Dorothy’s true goal was to free the Light Artifact.
Considering the other person’s identity as a cultist, Patricia felt she had to stop her, so she quickly cast a blocking spell in an attempt to halt Lolth’s actions.
But Patricia never expected that Lolth’s actions would be even faster than she had imagined!
In just two breaths, Lolth passed through the Divine Force Field and reached Dorothy at the bottom of the pit.
As soon as her figure appeared, Patricia’s sixth-level arcane magic materialized at the spot where Lolth had stood before the Divine Force Field!
“So fast!”
Patricia’s pupils narrowed as she stared at Lolth’s figure, clearly shocked.
However, inside the Divine Force Field, at the bottom of the pit, Lolth, standing next to Dorothy, also showed a look of unwillingness.
“Damn Divine Force Field… I can’t use space magic with this thing in the way; I was too slow!”
Even though the Rod of Eden had just been pulled out halfway, Lolth knew that putting the staff back now would not help because the balance had already been completely broken.
In fact, the moment Dorothy touched the staff, Lolth sensed something was wrong.
After all, it is a Divine Artifact, and its power is so great that Lolth did not notice some unusual things while it was still.
It was only after Dorothy broke the balance that Lolth noticed…
The Rod of Eden was indeed sealed by five cultists at the cost of their life force and all their divine power.
However, this seal was not only to cut off the Rod of Eden’s connection to the God of Light.
These five cultists were not only stopping the rod from “returning” but also preventing its power!
When Dorothy broke the seal, the power of the God of Light erupted suddenly at the heart of the Divine Kingdom, unleashing the force of a blow struck by the God of Light himself 13,000 years ago—continuing an unfinished strike from ten thousand years prior!
“Boom!”
Although this power from the God of Light did not harm anyone present, the structure of the Divine Kingdom—this already shattered and decaying half-plane—suddenly trembled!
Lolth finally understood where the Rod of Eden’s target was.
Under the city in the half-plane space, there was actually another hidden layer.
From the power of the Evil God, which was no weaker than the Light Artifact, it seemed clear that this was the “core” of the Divine Kingdom—the true place where the gods existed!
Compared to the divine power of this city, the decayed and highly corrosive divine power there was almost dozens of times stronger.
“This is bad…”
As the two-layer space structure collapsed entirely after the Light Artifact was reactivated, the four of them plummeted downward along with the Light Artifact!
After a brief encounter with the Chaotic Space, the four arrived at the inner layer of the Divine Kingdom!
A dark green space, a divine power that corroded everyone’s souls, below them, was a vast water area bubbling with dark green liquid soaking countless blackened skeletons. Black toxic smoke filled this space, and broken stones and large building debris floating in the air…
It felt like a post-apocalyptic scene after the most horrific destruction; just looking at everything was suffocating.
Moreover, this divine power was harmful to everyone!
Although the four people showed no signs of being affected at the moment, they still felt a deep discomfort from the raging divine power.
The falling soon stopped, as if there were no gravity here. The four people floated in the air like the ruins around them.
“We’ve fallen from the realm of the evil god into the evil god’s bedroom,” Lolth said, a look of helplessness on her face. “This is serious…”
Hearing Lolth’s words, Patricia, who was floating nearby, paused for a moment. She looked at Lolth with surprise.
“Why aren’t you calling me ‘My Lord’—you’re not a cultist, are you?”
As Patricia spoke, Lolth shrugged her shoulders.
“I’m definitely not,” she said, releasing the aura of Ultimate Power around her, and looked at Patricia, “But you aren’t just passing through, are you?”
“Oh dear, I’ve been outsmarted,” Patricia chuckled at Lolth’s expression, then continued, “Well, let’s be honest… I am the Great Sage Patricia Glantherum Flavetrica from the Wizard Association, sent by the Church of Light to retrieve the Light Artifact—this young lady is Dorothy Diana, the princess of the Golden Peacock, who is also entrusted by the Church of Light.”
“Sir Patricia, is it alright for you to tell her this?” Dorothy asked worriedly.
“Don’t worry, we’re in the Evil Divine Kingdom now, not the main world… For now, we’re like grasshoppers on the same string; it’s better to show some goodwill.”
Patricia looked at Lolth and calmly said.
Even though this space currently has no threat except for the great Power of the Evil God, she did not believe that an evil god would leave a secret space under their Divine Kingdom without any setup.
Moreover, the structure of the space is chaotic now, and even the Light Artifact in Dorothy’s hands has dimmed a little, meaning all four of them cannot return for the moment.
Fighting to the death in this situation is definitely not a wise choice.
“Demon Army, Head of the Detention Department, Kululu Bobo Puchi,” Lolth also realized this and introduced her fake identity to Patricia, “This is Princess Tina Leinster Newmoon, a Moon Elf.”
Dorothy and Patricia exchanged a glance at Tina and didn’t say much, but both understood one thing in their hearts.
“So, the captured Moon Elf Princess really has betrayed us… That means it is hard to say whether Isabella has betrayed us too.”
Tina noticed what the two were thinking, but she chose to remain silent.
Now, it no longer mattered to her what outsiders thought.
The four of them set their arguments aside for a moment, and after scanning the surroundings, Patricia turned to Lolth and asked again.
“If you’re not a cultist, then how can you use the power of the evil god?”
Clearly, she still did not fully trust Lolth.
“Oh, isn’t that girl next to you, the Golden Peacock, able to accept both the Holy Light and the Power of the Evil God at the same time?”
Lolth glanced at Dorothy and asked.
“She is a descendant of a hero.”
Patricia began to explain.
“I see, and I am a hero from the Abyssal Demon side.”
Lolth spoke seriously but foolishly.
